"A Little Night Music (a remake not a revival)
Desiree Armfeldt-Marion Cotillard
Madame Armfeldt-Linda Hunt
Fredrick Egerman-Hugh Jackman
Fredricka Armfeldt-Abigail Breslin
Anne Egerman-Sophie Evans (of "Over the Rainbow")
Henrick Egerman-Robert Pattinson
Carl-Magnus Malcolm-Christopher Gorham
Charlotte Malclom-Anne Hathaway
Petra-Amanda Seyfried
Frid-Kellan Lutz"
Robert Pattinson? Seriously? I really hope you're joking, although I can really picture Hugh Jackman as Fredrick and Anne Hathaway as Charlotte. But Kellan Lutz, too? Can he sing? I guess you're a really big Twilight fan.
I would love a Passion revival. I didn't like the style of the sets in the original because it felt too bright. I thought I was in an art museum. I loved how the concert staging was just black and gray because, whether intentional or not, it really brought out the dark aspects and pain in the story.
I swear to God I'm not a Twlight Fan I just I would be a good idea but by the way Frid doesn't sing.
I would pay full price to see Marion Cotillad tackle Desiree Armfeldt. She is 100% sex appeal and would fit the role like a glove. Sign me up.
BUMP!
42nd Street
Peggy Sawyer- Laura Osnes
Billy Lawlor- Gavin Creel or Andrew Rannells
Julian Marsh- Nathan Lane or Danny Burnstein
Maggie- Patti LuPone or Judy Kaye
Dorothy Brock- Kristin Chenoweth or Bernadette Peters or Catherine Zeta Jones
MisterMatt - like your choice of "City of Angels" and "Scarlett Pimpernall". Saw Tom Wopat in the lead role in "City of Angels" and was the first time I had ever heard him sing and was pleasantly surprised. Wonder who would be a good choice for that role now.
Yes, Brigadoon.
Tommy - Will Chase
Fiona - Laura Osnes
Jeff - Some funny young movie actor
Meg -
Charlie -
Mr. Lundie - Len Cariou
Also...Best Little Whoreshouse with Reba McEntire as Miss Mona.
Kiss Of The Spider Woman
Elena Roger or Sara Ramirez as Aurora
Benjamin Walker as Valentin
Max Von Essen as Molina
Radnor and O'Hara in SHE LOVES ME as they triumphed in at the Roundabout concert. It would be too much to hope for the rest of the cast as a whole, but I would hope Jonathan Freeman could at least reprise his amazing turn as the Head Watier.. Whoops - I mean Peter Bartlett (Freeman played the head waiter in the last revival and was also very good).

Replica production of Crazy for You I would love to see that choreography in person (the human clock tower and pickaxes, that i saw in the PBS taping is just amazing)

How about "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum" with Patti LuPone as Domina and Lauren Molina as Phillia? And maybe Daniel Radcliffe for Hero?
I would really love to see the original Michael Bennett production of DREAMGIRLS brought back to life. Im not talking a revision but the original full blown sets, costumes, staging and choreography.
I think a new generation needs to experience what we theatergoers were so fortunate to experience in the 1980s.
That recent revival at the Apollo did not cut it.
henrik-There's a good (almost 100%) chance your dream will come true...
The King & I
Anna - Kelli O'Hara or Hannah Waddingham
The King - Michael Cerveris (probably due to his likeness to Yul Brynner and I'm 99% sure he wouldnt be cast but. . )
Lady Thiang - Loretta Ables Sayre
Side Show
Violet - Laura Osnes
Daisy - Jessie Mueller?
And Fiddler on the Roof with Jackie Hoffman as Yente
I would love to see Marin Mazzie as Sally in Follies... I would also love to see her as Rose in Gypsy.
Someday, I'd also love to see Sutton Foster as Rose in Gypsy, but not for a while yet.
I'd be curious to see if Jane Krakowski would make a good Desiree.
And a King and I revival with Kate Baldwin as Anna, of course.
I want The King and I with Kelli O'Hara.
Hello, Dolly! and Sweeney Todd with Bernadette Peters.
Funny Girl with either Sutton Foster, Lady Gaga, or Lea Michele.
The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas and The Unsinkable Molly Brown with Reba.
And jamiekennywicked, I love Loretta Ables Sayre as Thiang! Plus I think that if there is a Side Show revival. Laura Osnes should be in it with Kara Lindsay.
The Scarlet Pimpernel
Marguerite - Catherine Zeta Jones
Percy - Matthew Morrison
Chauvelin - Hugh Jackman
Really, Wicked?! That would make me and a lot of people very happy!

Henrik- I don't know about the entire benefit cast is on board or if Far From Heaven turns out really well for O'Hara if that could postpone it, but my understanding is '13-'14 (after the 8th season of How I Met...) is the goal and the two Dear Friends have signed.
Side Show with Laura Osnes and Sierra Boggess would be perfection. I would love to see an a smaller in the round production at the Circle in the Square,
I'd love to see a Dreamgirls revival with original staging with Da'vine Joy Randolph as Effie, Patina Miller as Deena, Adrienne Warren as Lorrell and Chestor Gregrory back as Jimmy Early.
